DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Disasters, terrorist acts, and other mass casualty incidents occur frequently and are a major burden to our nation's mental and physical health. Good disaster research requires a collaboration among researchers, mental and public health practitioners, disaster planning and relief agencies, and public policy makers, particularly at the state and local levels. This application proposes to establish a Disaster Research Education and Mentoring (DREM) Center. The Center is a joint effort between researchers at the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center at the Medical University of South Carolina and the New York Academy of Medicine, who collaborated on a series of major research studies of the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York. The proposed project also involves collaborations with the Council of State Governments and the American Red Cross. Given that disasters often impact the general population in addition to direct victims, the DREM center will focus primarily on epidemiological approaches to research assessment and intervention evaluation. The project has four major objectives: 1) Provide disaster research education and mentoring; 2) Develop and implement a web-based mental health and epidemiological research measures data-base; 3) Develop disaster-specific psychoeducational materials for potential use with disaster victims; and 4) provide the Council of State Governments and American Red Cross with evidence-based information about disaster-related physical and mental health problems as well as about the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of mental health interventions for such problems. The Center will use a variety of strategies to accomplish these objectives including individualized training and mentoring for researchers and other relevant parties, a web-based disaster mental health and epidemiological research measures database, research mentoring, and developing disaster-specific psychoeducational materials for disaster victims. An important component of the project is consultation and collaboration with the Council of State Governments and the American Red Cross to facilitate the usefulness of disaster-related research information to public policy makers and disaster relief agencies.

描述（由申请人提供）：灾难，恐怖行为和其他大规模伤亡事件经常发生，这是对我们国家身心健康的重大负担。良好的灾难研究需要研究人员，心理和公共卫生从业人员，灾难计划和救济机构以及公共政策制定者，特别是在州和地方一级之间进行合作。该申请建议建立灾难研究教育和指导（DREM）中心。该中心是南卡罗来纳州医科大学国家犯罪受害者研究与治疗中心的研究人员与纽约医学院的研究人员之间的共同努力。拟议的项目还涉及与州政府委员会和美国红十字会的合作。鉴于灾难除了直接受害者之外经常影响普通人群，因此DREM中心将主要关注研究评估和干预评估的流行病学方法。该项目有四个主要目标：1）提供灾难研究教育和指导； 2）开发和实施基于网络的心理健康和流行病学研究措施数据库； 3）开发特定灾难的心理教育材料，用于与灾害受害者的潜在使用； 4）为州政府和美国红十字会提供有关灾难相关的身心健康问题的基于证据的信息，以及有关此类问题的心理健康干预措施的安全性，有效性和有效性。该中心将采用各种策略来实现这些目标，包括针对研究人员和其他相关方的个性化培训和指导，基于网络的灾难心理健康和流行病学研究措施数据库，研究指导以及为灾害受害者开发灾难特异性的心理教育材料。该项目的一个重要组成部分是与州政府和美国红十字会的咨询和合作，以促进与灾难相关的研究信息对公共政策制定者和救灾机构的有用性。
